[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are on a slippery slope. Now is the time to establish rules with extended family. We don't allow anybody there if we're not there.[/quote]

Aren't you nice.[/quote]

NP. Maybe this isn’t the nicest, but it’s correct. My parents had a beach house and allowed friends and family to use it. People are shockingly entitled - after the first visit almost all would ask to come again the next year. Family also crawled out of the woodwork, and people started asking to use it for a girl’s get together, bachelorette parties and even a honeymoon. My mom had trouble saying no after she had said yes to some people, and it got to the point that her own children couldn’t visit there in the summer bc it was booked up with friends and family. And even though we loved these people, they would break things, stain things, use up supplies and not replace them, etc. It eventually became such a headache that my parents sold the house. [/quote]

Like PP I ended up selling my second home also.  It makes me sad but I had no choice.  I would not say no to my sister staying in it.
The problem was then all of her friends wanted to stay in it. My sister also put an illegal immigrant from Medellin Colombia in it. He stayed for 6 months. She did not tell me about the illegal immigrant until after he had been there for 45 days.

My second home was also in an area that it was very difficult to get house cleaners or repair people. There was a real shortage.

Also....check your insurance for the second home.  If you bought it as a second home and insured it that way you cannot take money for it.[/quote]

You're a fool. I'm a liberal dem and have experienced something similar. People, even family, will treat your stuff with much less care than you can believe. [/quote]
